  1. So that's why it makes so little sense! "No, I think it means 'He's back, but you only live once'. It appears to be a threat." "That is the worst threat ever." Sigh "Guess that Backtrack guy finally got uppity. Should we arrest him?" "He's kind of too sad to be a real bad guy…." "Make him clean the graffiti?" "Yeah, sounds good."
  2. It's on the History Channel here, though I'm not sure how all the access and copyright stuff works over in Germany. I'm...still not entirely sure how it works here, to be honest. Some fan videos are allowed on YouTube, some are taken down due to "copyright issues," some shows like MLP stream for free, some you can't access without $50 and the blood of a virgin martini....it gets pretty frustrating sometimes. "Well, the only non-scorched one says 'Koshchee is back but YOLO,' so I don't think we should take this seriously."
  3. Given how badly she doesn't want to have Death "I'm Going to Make Sleazy Puns about Guarding Your Body" wish as her bodyguard, she'd probably want to show him as much trust as possible at the outset in hopes he takes it as a positive sign that the City Guard is willing to take him back. She'd double check to ensure that there were plenty of sprinklers in working order, and that all other precautions were in place in case he snapped, but she'd rather give the impression that they're ready to welcome him back than let him know he's on a short leash. Aside from being an all-around great show, it has some pretty awesome insults. I've been pronouncing it KOHS-chay, but I'm now imagining that wall covered with a dozen other pronunciations.
  4. My clothes always get redistributed. And look, I get it. I'm still living at home, with two younger sisters, one of whom is just a size or two larger than I am, and we all like bright, cheerful colors. So it's inevitable that our clothes will get mixed up by whoever sorts the laundry. But this, what I deal with, is nothing short of ridiculous. I buy all my own socks. I've shown my youngest sister (who does most of the laundry-folding and sorting) what my socks look like. Yet almost every time, my socks go to my mom or my other sister. Who then proceed to wear them anyway, knowing what they look like and who they belong to. Is it really too much effort to carry them to my door and leave them there? You don't even have to turn the handle and open the door. You just have to drop them outside. I'd still love you forever. It's the same thing with shirts, and jeans, and other articles of clothing—they go to my mom or one of my sisters. Recently, I got a new pair of Batman pajamas. I put them in the wash because—well, new pajamas plus Walmart equals something you want to wash before wearing. That was this morning. The load was finished and sorted while I was at work. Guess who can't find her brand-new pajamas after searching her youngest sister's room, the dryer, and the dirty laundry. I even asked my other sister, but she claims not to have seen them. I just want my clothes.
  5. Tonight on Texas Rising, one of the Rangers gave a very creepy monologue about Parisian women. His partner's response? "You are a sinner, marked by a terrible stain. If you ever come near my sisters, I'll blow your head clean off." If I ever meet Nighthound, Timeport, or Deathwish, that will be the first thing I say.
  6. I know you for coming close to guessing my bad description. And for having an awesome avatar.
  7. Or the wall could be covered in partially scorched misspellings of Koschei's name, ending with "Screw it. Cloak and circlet guy lives, everyone."
  8. The City Guard would be more terrified by the idea that Epic cultists were following the example of a leader whose name they couldn't even spell properly.
  9. First thought: That is so awesomely creeptastic. Second thought: I hope Frequency tells Sunspot how to spell that, because it'd be kind of sad if his badchull scheme failed because the City Guard saw 'Koschkay lives.'
  10. It would make things easier, but I've had to flee several sites where the agree/disagree system was so abused that posting something even a teensy bit outside the norm of popular opinion could net you 50 or more downvotes. And I don't just mean someone posts "Maybe the link between vaccines and autism is real" and nets a hundred downvotes, even though they would; I mean someone posts "Hey, maybe you should stop making so many insulting memes picking on this one particular religion if you're so into tolerance" and nets a hundred downvotes AND angry comments AND threats to try and get them banned. And the hundred downvotes might sound like an exaggeration, but it's not. The stigma attached to downvotes here might be troublesome, but I like it better than some alternatives I've seen.
  11. I think soldiers from his squad, since they'd also know what warning signs to watch for. I can see it either way, but if he's imprisoned for losing control, the glass wall seems likely to me. Although I can also see them being in a room with a door leading back to his cell, though not separated from each other, to give the impression that they're willing to try trusting him again.
  12. Makes sense. I'd imagine she'd have at least a few soldiers with her. Would they be in the same room together? If so, there'd definitely be sprinklers or fire hoses or something, just in case.
  13. I've only read Brave New World, and Catcher in the Rye, but I'd definitely recommend Brave New World—doubly so if you've read or are going to read 1984. They're sort of opposites, as dystopias go, but each brilliantly shows the consequences of society going too far in either direction. I didn't like Catcher in the Rye. It's very well-written, and Holden is an extremely deep character….but I just didn't like spending the entire book listening to him.
  14. Once the night ends and morning begins. Speaking of, for that scene, did you want to start off with Jack in his cell getting ready to meet with Autumn, or did you want me to start off with Autumn approaching him?
  15. Oh, I know. I just posted that in case Sanderson considers writing a short story about it, since I know Ahlstrom trolls this board. This possibility is pleasing to mine eyes.
  16. I like to think their wedding cake would look like this: …but look at us, planning their wedding when the groom hasn't even been introduced yet. We should get on with the shipping….shouldn't we?
  17. I agree that would be an interesting weakness….but I don't know if seeing evil!Mizzy is worth it.
  18. Autumn: You're the best bodyguard ever! Vapor: Because of the donuts? Autumn: ...Right.
  19. I'm picturing him pressing the button over and over, clapping his hands as the pile of donuts grows.
  20. "Here's a donut. There's more where that came from, if you're on the opposite side of town when you hear sirens later."
